2006 Avalon Navigation - Day/Night Options

In my 2006 Avalon Limited, on the navigation contral panel if I push the Menu button and then go to setup there are options for both Day and Night with the options being: Auto, Normal, 1, 2, 3, 4.

On the Day portion if I go through the numbers the map color changes from white (normal) to a lighter blue and I think one other color.

On the night portion no matter what option I choose the maps background color always stays white and is very bright when driving at night so I have to adjust the screen brightness to make it darker.

Does our cars navigation change to a different color at night to make it less bright at night?

My friends 2007 Nissan Maxima changes from a white background with black roads to a black background with white roads at night. I was hoping our cars do the same or something similar.

All input is appreciated.

Thank you,
Eric

Thanks, yea got it figured out but the night color options aren't really that different from the daytime color options.

Also, I do not think I am going to be using it much more in the future. Went on 2 road trips recently and the navigation route took me over 40 minutes out of the way to get to my destination both times I used it.

I am assuming the maps have not been updated since 2006 when the car came out.

Does Toyota update the maps in their navigation systems or are these the types of navigation systems that will never be updated?
